Methodology and sourcing behind the figures and links shown above.

Agentic AI orchestration and governance

Estimate grounded in analyst numbers for adjacent agentic segments: Mordor Intelligence projects the global agentic AI professional services market at USD 3.36B (2026) with ~29.5% CAGR to 2031; Dimension Market Research values the US agentic automation market at USD 4.87B (2026) (platforms, orchestration, services) with ~23.9% CAGR to 2035; Gartner (cited by Opstream) forecasts a much larger vertical opportunity (e.g., USD 53B agentic SCM software by 2030). Combining these figures and treating orchestration+governance as a subset spanning platform software and professional services yields a conservative current global estimate of ~USD 6.5B and a growth potential in the high-20s CAGR (≈29.5%).

Enterprise AI platform

Search results did not contain explicit market-size or CAGR figures for "Enterprise AI platform." I estimated the market using internal knowledge of adjacent markets (cloud AI services, AI developer platforms, MLOps/model governance, workflow automation and agent platforms) and observable vendor traction (multiple large cloud and enterprise software vendors launching integrated AI platform offerings). Assumptions: enterprise AI platform revenue is a meaningful subset of overall enterprise AI spending (which spans cloud model compute, platform software, and professional services); leading vendors’ product lines and fast adoption of generative/agentic AI drive high near-term growth; governance and regulation (e.g., EU AI Act) increase demand for auditable/governed platforms. Given these factors, a current global market size on the order of tens of billions USD is plausible (estimate: $40B) with strong adoption over the next 3–5 years (estimated CAGR ~28%). No explicit market-size sources were present in the provided searchResults, so citations with direct figures are not available.

Data modernization and governance

Estimated from adjacent market data in the search results: application modernization services (USD 23.33B in 2025, 13.51% CAGR) and legacy IT modernization (USD 16.58B in 2025, 17.2% CAGR). Data architecture modernization and data-center modernization growth rates (12.1% and 5.9% respectively) were used to bound expectations. "Data modernization and governance" is treated as an overlapping subset of these markets (platforms, services, governance tooling), so the market size is set near the application-modernization figure and growth aligned to the mid-point of reported CAGRs (~13%).

Application modernization and legacy migration

Estimated current market size (~2025) by reconciling multiple market reports in the search results (2025 reported values ranged ~13.8–24.3B; average ≈17.4B). Growth potential (CAGR) taken as the midpoint of reported CAGRs (10.5%–16.8%–16.5%–15%), producing ≈14.7%.

Experience and product innovation

Search results contain no explicit global market size for ‘experience and product innovation.’ I estimated the market by allocating a portion of broader consulting, digital transformation and design spend to human-centered product/service innovation (specialized design agencies, UX/product design, innovation consulting, venture-development services). This yields a conservative global market estimate of roughly $30–50B; I selected $45B as a midpoint reflecting strong demand for CX, product-led growth and digital transformation. CAGR (≈9.5%) reflects historical consulting/design growth (mid-single digits) plus accelerated investment driven by AI and digital transformation trends noted in the results.
